Memorial Day

" We who are left how shall we look again

Happily on the sun or feel the rain

Without remembering how they who went

Ungrudgingly and spent

Their lives for us loved, too, the sun and rain?"

J, E & M hiking up the Bridal Veil Falls Trail

 Ray was feeling much better after his procedure and so, against my Mother's warnings, we headed up the canyon for a drive.  Megan had only been through Provo Canyon once, years ago on a trip, so we wanted to show her a little more of the scenery we so love.

Bridal Veil Falls

 The day was gloriously beautiful - perfect weather for a short walk.

Joshua, Ethan & Megan

Joshua is a happy camper ~ he just snuggles right in and doesn't fuss or complain.

 Ray , being a good sport & me - in my babushka Aackk!  Bad hair day!

I love Megan in her purple hat!

 
 There was lots of fresh snow from the recent storm of yesterday . . . and there was still plenty on the Alpine Loop as well.

We stopped for a picnic at Tibble Creek Reservoir ~ 

The reservoir was a buzz with people out enjoying the day, just like we were. We realized that we are so used to our peaceful picnics in Payson Canyon, we didn't expect the roar of four-wheelers, motorbikes, and lots and lots of people.  But we did enjoy people watching.  It was this part of the day when Ray said, "I think your mother was right," so we headed for home. he was exhausted and we wished we would have turned around at Sundance.
